Two days after playing a game missing nine of its standouts, the University of Idaho football team postponed its coming contest against Northern Arizona, citing â(coronavirus) protocols within the Vandalsâ program.â
An effort will be made by the schools and the Big Sky Conference to reschedule the game, which was originally slated to be played Saturday at Walkup Skydome in Flagstaff, Ariz.
Idaho (1-1) was surprisingly short-handed in its 27-17 loss to UC Davis on Saturday in the Kibbie Dome.
The Vandals were without the following players: their best offensive linemen in juniors Logan Floyd and Matthew Faupusa; a defensive captain at nose tackle in senior Rahsaan Crawford; a third-year starter at tight end in Connor Whitney; a former All-American punter in senior Cade Coffey; fourth-year secondary starter Jalen Hoover and sophomore strong safety Jaxon Woodward.
